Soho Repertory Theatre Inc

The soho repertory writer director lab fosters meaningful collaboration between early career writers and directors. Four writer director pairs generate a new play from scratch under the guidance of established co-chairs. The plays are then presented in a free public reading series.

Through project number one (pn1), soho rep provides production fees and salaries for all writers, directors, designers, actors, and stage managers that are equivalent to administrative staff salaries and accurately reflect the time that people spend creating work for the theater. The theater also invites artists to be in residence as project number one artists on staff.

Soho repertory commissions and develops new work through the studio program. Highly individualized studio workshops bring new plays palpably closer to production-readiness. Up to four one-week or two-week long studio workshops take place at soho repertoy annually, and typically culminate in free public performances. Soho repertory also commissions up to three new plays each year.
